I’m about to zoom out for my week of offline summer vacation. The art supplies are already packed! No posts for the upcoming week, but I’ll catch up the week after.

For my latest home improvement project, I’ve been laying odd sized and shaped slabs of reclaimed marble to make the floor of a patio/bike shed. That might have something to do with this.

I was also thinking about collapsing condos in Florida. Not sure how the two things relate, but there you go.

Yes it looks upside-down but that is the way I drew it.

May the winds through the solstice gates blow gentle in your lives this year.

This felt celebratory. Maybe the new Juneteenth federal holiday, or maybe the 32nd anniversary of an excellent marital partnership. Or maybe just the trumpets of the summer weather I love so much.

Not finished, obviously. Working on a design for a door.

I’m working on a portrait for a friend, that has a horse in it. I need more practice on horses, I don’t know them the way I know, say, cats. The legs always seem to come out weird and wrong. The colors were fun though!
